Inhaltsangabe

English Historical Review -"This collection comprises a significant
addition to the extant histography on transatlantic slave trade and the
last three essyas in paticular, which pose almost as many questions as they
answer, offer some potentially useful pointers for future research."
William and Mary Quarterly - "This collection of essays fully deemonstrates
that the chronology and geography of the transatlantic slave trade can now
be studies in considerable detail."
International Journal of AfricanHistorical Studies
"a sensitive blend of quantitive analysis, illuminating contemporary
documentaion and...a respect for the scholarship of others
